ORMCKB: A Knowledge Database for Personalized Medicine in Deciphering the Oral Microbiome-Disease Axis

The oral microbiome plays a crucial role in the development and progression of diseases. The complex interactions between the oral microbiome and diseases are challenging for clinicians in clinical decision-making and scientific research. To address this gap, we developed an oral microbiome knowledge database (ORMCKB), to provide evidence for personalized medicine and scientific research in the oral microbiome-disease axis. The current version of ORMCKB contains 11,554 data entries, encompassing 6941 oral microbe taxonomies, 234 diseases, 220 interventions, and 175 bacteriostats extracted from 818 publications. Compared to ChatGPT-4o, ORMCKB demonstrates superior performance in matching questions with responses (10 vs. 9.6), presenting research article details (10 vs. 5.80), and recommended scientific article authenticity ratio (100% vs. 33.63%). The system usability scale (SUS) and the net promoter score (NPS) were 86.07 and 85.71, respectively. As the first knowledge database focused on the oral microbiome-disease axis, ORMCKB provides a comprehensive, accurate, and user-friendly online resource for identifying key microbial players and their associations with oral diseases in personalized medicine. ORMCKB is set to sustain its prominence in cutting-edge research on the oral microbiome-disease axis, paving the way for future artificial intelligence applications in both scientific research and clinical practice.
